My favorite one of the 4 I've tried over the years, by far, has been the Day-light Sky light. Pricey, but I like how it can tilt over my head while I'm at my desk at work, it definitely tricks my brain into waking up. I usually flip it on the super bright setting for 30 minutes to an hour, then turn it off for a bit, then I'll use it for the next several hours on the slightly lower setting. Hot tea, good music, and that light makes winter afternoons nice.

My second favorite has been the Verilux HappyLight Liberty 10k, I bought this one at Bartell Drugs. I tried another variant or two of the Verliux, and I liked this one the best of those. For me, having the light shine from above eye level seems to work better for me, so I usually set mine up on a small shelf, though it works fine just sitting on the desk too. I sort of have the same regiment with this one, I'll use it on the super bright setting for a little while, maybe 30 minutes or so, then switch it down to the lower setting for the rest of the evening (though I try to turn it off a couple of hours before bed).

I tried the blue light, but I found that I preferred the more normal feeling lights. Honestly, I don't think its the spectrum that seems to make the biggest difference for me, its just having a really bright light to trick my head into going into awake mode.

In addition to the bright lights, forcing myself to get up and walk around the block can help fight the dreary feelings for me, or if its super nasty out walking around somewhere airy and busy, like Pacific Place (or similar indoor place), helps me feel more awake. Also, try to do some social things regularly if possible, even if you aren't feeling super social. I've found its easy for me to accidentally forego hanging out with people for a couple of weeks if its messy out, then realize I'm feeling more cabin fever than usual. Movies in the theatre can be fun in the winter too, as you are sort of transported by the big screen to some far off place while being warm and dry.

Those are my coping mechanisms. I love winters here in almost every way, the clean, crisp air, even the cool, damp, darkness is calming for me. Its just convincing my brain to feel awake that can be tough for me. If it really gets to me, I try to take a week or two and go somewhere sunny in February or so if possible (though I realize this isn't an easy option for everyone).

I've got this unit: Whynter 14000 BTU

Area: ~750sqft

Dual hose unit, and I keep a blanket wrapped around the hot air hose for a little insulation.

No real other advice. My unit is probably overkill for a smaller place or a single room, but the fact that it can cool my bedroom at the far end of the house is a huge plus.

This thing weighs a ton but it rolls super super easy. I would not get it to bring up and down stairs though.

Don't regret it at all :)

I wrote my final paper for one of my art history classes in university on this painting and this is accurate. One of the curators for the SAM actually wrote a book on it if you are interested: http://www.amazon.com/Albert-Bierstadt-Puget-Sound-Pacific/dp/0295991240

To anyone who wants to see this painting at the SAM, if the lights in the room are reflecting off the painting, see if there's a bench in front of it where you can stand on (there was last time I went, but I know the museum has had a lot of stuff moved around since). You won't see the glare from the lights, and it will really pull you in. Gorgeous painting, I recommend looking up Albert Bierstadt's other works!

I've been to three of them in California, and they were just bizarrely awful. Ripped-open packages, outright rude staff members, nothing on the right shelf, dirty stores. Conversely, the one in Renton is actually pretty decent. Things are pretty organized and well maintained, and one time I saw a pair of Buddhist monks shopping for motherboards, so that was pretty neat.

I'm not going to lie, though; the main reason I love the Renton Fry's is because of this book.

Here are the suggestions:

Motorola SB5101u if you just want to keep service and essentially tread water. This modem is old, but still supported. It won't take advantage of the newer DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 technologies, but neither will your Comcast service.

Motorola SB6121 or SB6141 will allow you to keep service, be supported for a longer time than the older SB5101, and take advantage of DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 technologies

There is also much research that shows that the more rules you give someone, the less they think logically. This creates a problem when things happen that do not have prescribed rules as the driver/biker is used to a operating in an environment on "auto-pilot."

The book "Traffic" is a fantastic read and details a couple of studies, a really great read, highly recommended:

Option C: Treat yourself to an air conditioner. I bought myself this model last summer and it's been one of the best investments of my life.

Saw Emerald City: An Environmental History of Seattle at work one day and it piqued my curiosity. It's quite good IMO, if it's what you're looking for. A bit drier than some others, focuses a lot on some of the planning aspects, but I enjoyed it.

Bears have much more sensitive noses and are typically fended-off from a longer distance. It's a much bigger can and it makes a big cloud. Pepper gel comes in a much smaller canister and is supposed to be safer to use and more effective on humans.

Unfortunately the best histories written about Seattle are getting so old they are becoming a part of history themselves. Here are a couple of more recent additions:

Does Amazon Retail ship to the UK? Yes. You order via http://amazon.co.uk

Does this particular merchant, who is using Amazon's Fullfillment By Amazon service ship to the UK? Doubtful, because the item isn't for purchase in the UK (see: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LY8KNO0).

The item might exist under a different identifier in the UK marketplace, but that's unlikely as item identifiers are typically the same across all marketplaces.

Me too! Bought it last month when we hit 88 in April. It cools my bedroom from 85 to 68 in about 20 minutes. Worth every penny, ($380 on Amazon). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J5U8P4E/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_nAtoxbCD34G1P

Edit: mine is the 10,000 btu model, which is smaller than OP's but it is plenty for one room.

There's actually a lot of scholarship on how racial tensions are stoked by economic and social status worries.

This is a very good, academic look at the 2nd Klan and would help contextualize things for you https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Mask-Chivalry-Making-Second/dp/0195098366

Sadly I want it to go outdoors 150 ft to my garage - this is the cheapest one I can find - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QGY3416/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=A1TXVDHLFA30DN&psc=1

Seems wasteful to throw the other one away, hence the question! Thx.

Acrylic was $90, but we had a fairly tall window to cover.

Unit was this, but damn it was only $300 when we got it back in March.

Got a suggestion? I have been using this one for three years and it has been rock-solid reliable for only $40.

The late merge that you talk about actually isn't so bad. At least, according to this book: http://www.amazon.com/Traffic-Drive-What-Says-About/dp/0307264785

u/rogerwilcoesq · -4 pointsr/Seattle

My only advice is don't move with friends - look back after a year or two and realize you should have bought a condo of your own.

edit: also read Microserfs

I didn't want to go with anything cheap because I wasn't sure they'd be effective at all. If you're willing to rethink your price, I bought this and I really like it. One symptom of the effect lack of light has on me is the way my eyes get tired -- it's not "being sleepy", it's my eyes not wanting to do anything and me feeling lethargic. The light helps a lot with that. I don't use it a ton because I'm not on any kind of consistent sleep cycle, but whenever I do use it, it's very helpful.

Can't help with anything of a lower price, though, unfortunately.

u/BBorNot · 4 pointsr/Seattle

People were way more chill. I had a crappy car back then that would occasionally stall at a red light, and sometimes the light would go through an entire cycle before I could get it started again. No one ever honked.

Everyone seemed to have half a job and not really care -- they were just here for the hiking or to make giant puppets for the Solstice Parade or whatever.

A good book on this period is Seattle and the Demons of Ambition.
